Do you have a little extra time on your hands? Looking for ways to help your community? We could really use your help! You can volunteer as much as you want. Once you meet our dogs and cats though. I bet you will be hooked. There is nothing better than meeting people who have the same likes and interests as you. Plus, you are helping save precious lives. Our animals need to have positive, human connection. We have so many ways you can help from dog walking, doggies dates, kitten cuddlers, photography, cleaning, clinic, fostering, working events, and so much more.
Come in to fill out our volunteer application. If you would like a CCHS shirt, it is $20.00. Please let staff know when you come in!
Must be 18 years old to volunteer by yourself. Anyone under the age of 18 must be accompanied by an adult.
Please give us a call or stop on by CCHS to fill out an application.
